“What CD is this Darin song on?”

The days of wine and roses laugh and run away

      Like a child at play …
      Through a meadowland toward a closing door
      A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before.

      The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze

      Filled with memories …
    Of the golden smile that introduced me to
      The days of wine and roses and you.
